what is wrong with this code?

fun Application.download(iDownload: IShare) {
    routing {
        route("/download") {
            staticFiles(
                "/statics",
                File("files")
//                iDownload.downloadDir()
            )

            get("/apk") {
                call.respondFile(iDownload.myApk())
            }
        }
    }
}

url /download/apk is available, while /download/statics is 404. not found.

[calidion]

seems this is a bug

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Which file's content should be returned for the /download/statics request?

[calidion]

should return an html page listing all files.

[calidion]

instead of 404

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

The staticFiles method doesn't render the file listings. It could return the content of a default file specified by the index argument.

🥶...

[calidion]

the return of 404 is not acceptable, because the folder exists, directories are files too.

[calidion]

the response should be OK and can be accompanied with a message like

file indexing is not enabled.

Please leave a comment at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTOR-8115 with the description of the problem. Also, please explain why it's expected for staticFiles to return the file listing.
